"You honestly think that someone wants to kill me?" Stagg asks me, Eddie and Joe as we were walking through his warehouse.
"Yes," I say just as Eddie gives me a look. What? I mouth to him with a smile.
He smiles, rolling his eyes and finally says, "Well we are not sure, Mr.Stagg, but an event you were being honored at was robbed at gunpoint."
"And your head of security was found murdered this morning," I add.
"I am a scientist and a philanthropist. We're not often the target of assassins," He says. Wouldn't be too sure about that.
"Well, what about lawsuits?" I ask.
"You've got about 20 of those pending against you," Joe says.
"Well, it is a sad life Detective, that when you earn a lot of money, people who haven't, think they can take yours," Stagg says.
Joe than opens his folder, showing Stagg a picture, "People like this guy for example? Danton Black?"
"Danton Black," Stagg repeats.
"You fired him and now he's suing you?" Joe asks.
"Unfortunately, our working relationship wasn't successful, but I can assure you one thing. Danton Black is not a killer. He's a clinical researcher, not a criminal mastermind. Now if I can help you in any way, please let me know. I want these people caught as much as you."
"Then here we are," Three gunmen say in unison, walking into the warehouse. They have guns pointed at us and they start shooting.
"Down!" Joe yells as we all run and hide behind some barbells.
"Get him outta here I'll cover you," Joe says to Eddie. They start to leave as I turn to Joe.
"I've got this," I say. I then teleport behind one of the gunmen and start fighting him. He tries to punch me but I push his arm to the side and kick him in the gut, pushing him back. Then, another comes up to me. While I'm fighting I see Danton Black, multiply. And they've got guns pointed at Joe. I keep fighting the gunman and finally throw him into some barrels.
Just then Barry runs in as the Flash. He takes their guns and runs Joe outside. He then runs in front of the gunmen and I walk over to him and high-five him. "Whoever you are, give yourself up," Barry says.
"We're not going anywhere until Simon Stagg is dead," They all say. Barry knocks out two of the gunmen and then Black multiplies again.
Me and Barry share a look before we go to fight them. It mostly works. Well for me at least. I take out most of the gunmen even though they keep multiplying. Barry on the other hand, is not so lucky. And just as I go over to help him, I am knocked down on the floor too. Just as they are about to shoot us, Barry runs out just as I teleport out of there and to S.T.A.R. Labs.

"Sorry," Cait says as she treats Barry's wounds. "The abrasions are already rapidly healing."
"Yeah, I got my ass handed to me," Barry says and I rub his shoulder. He looks at me.
"How is it that you don't even have a scratch on you?" Barry asks me. I have way more scars than you can imagine, Barry.
"Well I do have more experience than you," I say to him with a small smile.
"You got blood on my suit," Cisco says.
"I think some of it, belongs to him," Barry says. "Another not-so-friendly meta-human,"
Then Dad pulls up his picture on the monitors. "Danton Black," Dad says. "He's a bio-geneticist specialized in therapeutic cloning."
"Growing new organs to replace failing ones. Apparently Stagg stole his research and then fired him," I add.
"We saw black create duplicates from his own body," Barry says.
"That's pretty ironic. The guy specialized in cloning and now he can make xeroxes of himself," Cisco says.
"If he was exposed to the dark matter wave released by the particle accelerator explosion--" Dad starts but Cisco interrupts,
"Meet Captain Clone." We all give him a look, knowing the name could be better. "Don't worry. I'll come up with something cooler."
"Where are you going?" Caitlin asks Barry. He was walking out of the Cortex but stopped and turned to answer Caitlin.
"Joe was right," Barry says. "I'm way over my head. Yeah I'm fast, but I am no warrior. Man I could barely fight one meta-human let alone six." Barry turns to me, "You can do this, because you are a warrior. You don't need me."
He starts to walk away but Dad stops him, "Barry. I understand. Today was a setback. But any grand enterprise has them."
"And we can never learn to fly without crashing a few times," I add, walking up to him.
"This wasn't a grand enterprise," Barry says. "This was a mistake."
